Python Requests

Use the Python requests library through Hyperproxy.

The Python requests library and httpx both support proxy configuration. Hyperproxy works with both.

requests

python

import requests

PROXY_URL = "https://proxy-abc123-u1a2b3:password@<proxy-host>:443"

proxies = {
    "http":  PROXY_URL,
    "https": PROXY_URL,
}

# Secret injection via placeholder — Hyperproxy replaces {$OPENAI_API_KEY} with the real key
response = requests.get(
    "https://api.openai.com/v1/models",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer {$OPENAI_API_KEY}"},
    proxies=proxies,
)
print(response.json())

Session Reuse

Use a requests.Session to avoid re-establishing proxy tunnels on every call:

python

import requests, os

PROXY_URL = os.environ["CIFP_PROXY_URL"]  # https://user:pass@<proxy-host>:443

session = requests.Session()
session.proxies = {"http": PROXY_URL, "https": PROXY_URL}
# Optional: set common headers once
session.headers["Authorization"] = "Bearer {$OPENAI_API_KEY}"

r1 = session.get("https://api.openai.com/v1/models")
r2 = session.post("https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions", json={...})

httpx

python

import httpx

proxies = {"https://": "https://user:pass@<proxy-host>:443"}

with httpx.Client(proxies=proxies) as client:
    r = client.get(
        "https://api.github.com/user",
        headers={"Authorization": "Bearer {$GITHUB_PAT}"},
    )
    print(r.json())

Async (httpx.AsyncClient)

python

import httpx, asyncio

async def main():
    proxy_url = "https://user:pass@<proxy-host>:443"
    async with httpx.AsyncClient(proxies={"https://": proxy_url}) as client:
        r = await client.get(
            "https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers",
            headers={"Authorization": "Bearer {$STRIPE_SECRET_KEY}"},
        )
        print(r.json())

asyncio.run(main())

Environment-Based Configuration

Store proxy configuration in environment variables so your code doesn't need to change between environments:

bash

# .env
CIFP_PROXY_URL="https://proxy-abc123-u1a2b3:password@<proxy-host>:443"
HTTPS_PROXY=$CIFP_PROXY_URL

python

import requests
# requests automatically reads HTTPS_PROXY from the environment
r = requests.get("https://api.openai.com/v1/models",
                 headers={"Authorization": "Bearer {$OPENAI_API_KEY}"})
